"As a note to maintainers of community builds running on Nexus 7: please update to 4.1.2 at the first opportunity. Future variants of the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components (the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1," says Queru.

Good news if you are a Nexus 7 owner, however for those who own other tablets - such as anything from the Samsung Galaxy series - don't expect to see the update any time soon. As usual with Android updates, it comes down to when manufacturers want to implement the update, how long it takes for them to test it, and then whether or not they decide to roll it out to the devices already in people's homes.
